REGULAR MEETING MAY 10, 1976
<br />Council Member Serge indicated he thought the resolution should be passed to meet:our obligation.
<br />Council Member Taylor said his only desire was to keep the garages as competitive as possible. H
<br />asked Mr. Mullen if it were true that to make the garages pay for themselves, we would have to
<br />think in terms of a monthly rate of $40 to $45 per month. Mr. Mullen indicated that was correct.
<br />He said that no one on the Council was going to be taking a vote to end subsidization, and we are
<br />going to be subsidizing the downtown parking situation for a while. He indicated he wanted to ke
<br />our parking rates as competitive as possible as long as possible.
<br />Council President Parent indicated that the Commission has discussed the possibility of providing
<br />some free parking. He said he thought the motivation behind the two resolutions on the agenda wa
<br />very good. He said he was concerned that even the goals of receiving more money at an increased
<br />rate may not be obtained. He said he would be in favor of subsidizing parking even further, be-
<br />cause it would make us more competitive in getting additional businesses downtown, and have an ex
<br />panded tax base, therefore, having more tax money. He said that those on the Commission were ver
<br />concerned that increasing the rates would not produce more money, especially on the flat lots be-
<br />cause there are other lots nearby that are competitively priced, so we are not sure if we increas
<br />the rates that some people will not go elsewhere. He said he was against the adoption of both
<br />resolutions on the agenda, and would prefer the Board of Works adopt a resolution reflecting the
<br />Commission's report.
<br />Council Member Szymkowiak, indicated it was the Council's idea to have a parking commission, now
<br />we have the advice of the parking Commission, and we should live by it.
<br />Council President Parent said there was a motion on the floor to defeat both resolutions, and I
<br />would like to ask Council Member Taylor to withdraw it and deal with both individually.
<br />Council Member Taylor said he moved on resolution A to reject the resolution and to write a lettez
<br />so stating to the Board of Public Works our reasons and that we state in the letter that we will
<br />support the recommendations of the Study Commission. Council President Parent said that the sense
<br />of the motion was to strike the resolution from the record and tell the reasons why. The motion
<br />was seconded by Council Member Horvath. Council President Parent said it had been moved and
<br />seconded that this resolution be struck from the record and a letter be sent to the Mayor giving
<br />the reasons why. A roll call vote was taken, and after a clarification, the roll call vote was
<br />five ayes (Council Members Szymkowiak, Taylor, Adams, Horvath and Parent) and three nays (Council
<br />Members Serge, Miller Kopczynski). The motion carried and the resolution will be struck from the
<br />record.
